“As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.”
Like tying a stone in a sling is the giving of honor to a fool—a statement that honoring the fool is self-defeating, establishing that such honor backfires on the giver. The image of a sling weighted with a stone (useless) describes the futility. The theological significance involves the principle of proper distribution of honor.
